The idea behind the W-5000's structure is that you're able to assign any Tone to any Tone button. So, for
example, if you have three favorite piano sounds, you can easily assign each of them to one of the three
Piano buttons ([PIANO 1], [PIANO 2] or [PIANO 3]) in a Tone select section. By doing this you'll be able
to instantly recall your favorite piano sounds without having to dig through layers of Program and Bank
Numbers. For a more detailed explanation of the W-5000's sound organization and how to assign Tones to
Tone buttons, please refer to 'Tone Mapping' on page 42.
LAYERING TONES
Further increasing the W-5000's versatility is the ability to layer Tones, that is, having two Tones sound
together.
So far we have been dealing with Tone 1 sounds only. When the [TONE 1/TONE 2] button (in any Tone
select section) is red, you'll be selecting Tone 1 sounds; any Tone button you press will light with a red LED.
Note that you can only select a single Tone 1 sound at a time (pressing another Tone select button will
replace your previous selection) .
If, however, you press the [TONE 1/TONE 2] button again so its green LED lights, you'll be able to choose a
second Tone to layer with the Tone 1 sound you've selected. Follow this example and you'll see what we
mean.
In the UPPER Tone select section:
Ê
Press the [TONE 1/TONE 2] button so its red LED lights.
Ë
Press the desired Tone select button (its red LED should light).
Ì
Press the [TONE 1/TONE 2] button again so its green LED lights.
Í
Press another Tone select button (its green LED should light).
You'll now have two active Tone buttons; one lit with a red LED (Tone 1) and the other lit with a green LED
(Tone 2). (Note that simply pressing two Tone buttons simultaneously will achieve the same result.)
